Task management is most efficient when your team has access to everything it needs in one place. That’s why we’ve worked to continuously integrate Microsoft Planner with more Microsoft 365 productivity solutions such as Outlook for calendars, Microsoft Teams as a tab and app, and SharePoint for files. Rolling out today, SharePoint integration goes even deeper with new features for embedding Planner into SharePoint sites.

Do more with Planner in SharePoint

Two new capabilities bring task management directly into group-connected SharePoint team sites: adding a plan and adding a web part.

Adding a plan - The +New button on the homepage of every SharePoint site makes it easy to create lists and document libraries directly from your homepage. Now, that +New button will include the option to add a Planner plan. You can add the plan to your navigation pane so your whole team can access it in a single click, simplifying overall navigation.

Adding a web part - SharePoint web parts help you quickly glean and access relevant information, from internal news to shared documents. The new Planner web part adds to this experience, allowing you to add plan information directly on pages and news posts. Depending on what task information you think is most relevant to your team, you can choose between the Planner Board or Charts view to appear on your homepage.

I am wondering when we will be able to Edit/Delete comments on tasks. Seems like basic functionality that is missing.

It would be nice if the comments section on tasks worked liked the channels in Teams, but I would be happy to be able to edit comments for the moment. Its maddening that I cannot edit a comment if I make a mistake or a typo.

A quick question: we have setup a Planner on the homepage of a sit (love it!), but we need to attach documents to the cards that come from different libraries on that site. Now it seems I can only add documents from the documents folder. Is there a workaround or will it be rolled out soon?

@Johannes Kirchner while that would be great additions, if you are running a project using agile and you have daily scrums, everyone in the team is well aware of the tasks that are pending and assigned to them. Similar products in the market do not have that integration and somehow people make it work.

Great point by @Johannes Kirchner on purely human level Planner just doesn't work unless an individual can see there entire workload in one place. Without the ability to see ALL your tasks in one place it is physically impossible to efficiently plan your day. That is a face regardless of if you're working as an individual, part of a team or even if you're using agile with daily scrums.

how agile you ever are or will be - the overall convenience have from different systems (or even sister products within a mother company / brand like Microsoft) to access easily all your tasks in one "PLACE" - makes it so good. ... I just refer to one point of contact policy - one access - poka yoke principle ...

you do not miss anything - you get everything in one spot ... why should we work around a helping system with needs to serve and please us and not the other way round ... ;-)

It would be great if you could add a feature to have a card exist in more than one plan, but only need to be updated in one plan. For example, if we define a plan with epics and stories, we could then duplicate the stories into a sprint backlog plan, and not have to replicate them there (and then have to keep the copies all up to date).
